Says Gen. Longstreet in the February
Century, speaking Of the Battle OF Gettys-

Meade and Washington our army in al.
most as successful prestige as was that of
the Prussians, Meade would have been
obliged to attack us wherever we might
be pleased to have him. He would have
been badly beaten like the French, and
the result would have been similar. I
do not mean to say that two govern
ments would have been permanently es-
tablished; for I thought before the war,
and during its continuance, that the peo-
pie would eventually get together again
in stronger bonds of friendship than
those Of their first love-"

this division have been made with this

When he landed, G. Columbus Found
the people with no clothes on; Found
them dressed like Lydia Thompson;
Dressed for going to the opera Now
they uadress more than ever, but it cost
much moro to do 80; costs like smoke tn
put on nothing. Then he found the
people painted, hinged and streaked
from heel to eyebrow; Now they paint
above the shoulders, But it costs n
much rs ever. Then the young men
smeared their bodies; Now the young
men paint the town red Then he found
the maids assembled. Waiting on the
sandy seashorc; Waiting for the Spanish
sailors. Now, as ever, they are waiting,
Giddy girls and anxious ''mommcrs. y
Ever waiting on the seashore; Mailing
for the men to find them, Eager still to
be discovered; Anxious that they may
be sought for BY strange men from
foreign countries Then Columbus found
the natives Free and easy with their
ducats. Gladly giving to the strangers
All the Doodle they had room for. Still
today the foreign raider Scoops
their dollars by tho hatful Oscar
Wilde and Goodby Patti, Wilson
Tug and Canon Farrar, Donkey,
Song bird, Tough and Parson, Reap
alike a golden harvest. Como are all
Columbus Injuns, Gone the copper col
orcd maiden, Gone the dusky squaws
and sachems. But their children still
survive them; Living longer than their
fathers; We have learned another chap
ter; We've had time to let our beard
grow; We have lately cut our eye teeth;
And although we may seem simple In
the presence of the stranger, Yet he
wants to keep his eye peeled When we're
dealing from the bottom; Turning jacks
at times unwonted; Yet he wants to
come in winter, When the cath with frost
is bak ing, And the mercury is freezing,
If he vainly hopes to leave us, Sobbing
sadly in the distance; And when he re-
turns bald headed, He will hear our
shouts and laughter, As beneath his
scalp we gather, Drying in our smoky
wigwam, Like hair plaque in our
tepee. We have not forgot how Cortez
Taught our fathers to walk Spanish, and
we have acquired the language, and
ourselves arc taking classes. That's
four centuries evolution; That's the kind
OF Injuns we are Burdctte.

Progress IN Teteoro pbv.

Mr.. j. Fender, speaking at dinner
in London last month in celebration Of
the jubilee Of the electric telegraph, on
behalf OF ''The Present" said ne would
tell them what submarine telepraphy
had done Twenty years ago there was
only about 5000 miles Of submarine
cable. There are now 49, miles
which had cost something like cas-
OO0 900 or CSC, 900, 600. A prophecy
was made long ago that the Garth was
to be girdled in forty minutes. We have
got as much submarine cable as would
go round the earth five times. A mes
sage could be sent round the world in
twenty minutes at the present moment.
They might ask him where did all this
submarine telegraph extend to. In reply
he would say:
Gar as the breeze can bear the pillows
foam"
When the history Of those past fifty
years was written it would be shown
that tclegraphy and more especially sub
marine telegraphy, had done much to
confederate and spread civilization
throughout the world. and to have made
as near as possible this great worlG of

One of the most prodigious engineer
ing projects now on the tapis, is that for
tunnelling the Rocky mountains under
Trays Peak, which rises no less than
IA, 441 feet above the level of the sea.
1t is stated that at 4 AL feet below the
peak; by tunnelling from east to west
for $4,000 feet, direct communication
could be opened between the valleys on
the Atlantic slope and those on the Pa
cific side. This would shorten the dis
lance between Denver in Colorado and
Salt Lake City in Utah, and conse-
quently the distance between the Mis-
souri, river, say at st. Louis, and San
Francisco, nearly 300 miles. and there
would be little more required in the
way of ascending or descending or tun-
neling mountains. Part of the work has
already been accomplished The coun-
try from the Missouri to the foot of the
Rockies rises gradually in rolling prairie
until an elevation is reached of 500 feet
above the sea level. The Rockies them
selves rise at various places to height
exceeding 1000 feet OF the twenty
most famous passes, only seven are be-
low 10, 900 feet, while five are upward
of 1900, and one is 1900 feet. The
point from which it is proposed to tun-
mel is sixty miles west from Denver. and,
although one of the highest peaks, it is
by far the narrowcst in the great back
bone of the American continent.

ADVANCEMENT of scfencc.


Probably the most interesting and in
structive meeting of the American As
sociation for the Advancement of Sci
ence was the one just closed in New York.
There was an attendance of from SIX to
eight hundred, and the papers were par
ticularly able and valuable. Prof. Geo.
+. Barker read an intensely interesting
paper prepared by Mr.. Thomas A. Edi-
son on his new "Pyromagnetic Genera
tor" In which is advanced the novel
idea of the conversion of heat into pow
er by means of magnetism, and, by the
same principle, the conversion of heat
into electricity. OF his discovery, Mr..
Edison says:
Since whenever a magnetic field varies
In strength in the vicinity of a conduc-
tor, current is generated in that con-
ductor, 1T occurred to me that by placing
an iron core in a magnetic circle and va
rying the magnetizability of that core by
varying its temperature, it would be pos
sible to generate current in coil of
wire surrounding this core.
Acting upon the idea, Mr.. Edison
placed eight electro magnets in circle,
all their positive poles in contact with
one iron disk, and their negative poles
in contact with another. Passing
through the disks and joining them, he
placed an equal number of rolls of thin
corrugated iron, each roll opposite the
two poles respectively of the electro
magnets. He wound the eight iron
rolls with insulated wire. When this
simple apparatus was placed over fur
mace so that hot air passed through the
rolls, they became straightway nom
magnetic. Then he fitted semi -circu-
lar plate below the lower disk TO shut
of the heat from half the rolls, SO that
they became magnetic, aud half, being
hot, were magnetic. BY revolving
this semi circular plate the rolls were
first heated and then cooled. and by
this means electricity was generated ip
the coils of wire surrounding the rolls.
Mr.. Edison thinks that this devise can
be so modified as TO furnish electric
lights for a whole house by means of the
heat from an ordinary furnace, and he
will pursue his interesting experiments
In that direction. The next meeting of
the association will bc held at Cleveland
on the fourth Wednesday in August,
1883.
